This weekend, I went to the The Edwardian Ball & World's Faire 2011, held in San Francisco's Regency Ballroom (built 1909) on January 21 and 22, celebrating macabre mid-century storybook illustrator Edward Gorey, as well as Edwardian, Victorian, and Roaring Twenties fashion.

The woman in the second picture on the left is none other than goth chanteuse Jill Tracy, the Belle of the Ball, who introduced her new waltz at the event. She said the hat she's wearing might actually be from the Edwardian era.
